OpenSource real-time trip-routing

Hi All:

For any of you that have played with the real-time trip-routing in Google Maps, there is now an OpenSource version available.

A demonstration is available here: http://boston.freemap.in/routing.html

This system utilizes the following parts:
  1. UMN MapServer for WMS based map image generation;
  2. TileCache for tiled WMS generation and caching;
  3. PostGIS for data storage;
  4. pgRouting for postGIS based route finding;
  5. OpenLayers for the javascript based map viewer

The demonstration is a little bit clunky compared to Google’s (probably all because of server speed), but shows the power of what OpenSource can do!
